Consumer Description

ALTERNATOR FAILED AT 26,302 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE CAR, CAUSING A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR FAILED IN THE SAME WAY AT 50,461 WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 70 MILES AN HOUR. LOSING YOUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING IS DANGEROUS. BOTH REPAIRS WERE DONE BY CHEVROLET DEALERS. THE ORIGINAL ALTERNATOR WAS AS DEFECTIVE AS THE REPLACEMENT THE DEALER PUT ON.*AK
